text: Holly Spangler Archives Email Author Follow @Holly Spangler The Giving of the Thanks My Generation November was a good run. Now what? Published on: December 3, 2010 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Blog RSS Permalink Print I have been overwhelmed by your generosity and response to my Thanks and Giving series last month. We used to joke about getting a flood of letter, which in general is so true. Believe it or not, we don't get much mail here at Prairie Farmer. But I've been so encouraged by your emails, comments and the chats we've had in person. So now it's December. The first snow fell on our farm December 1 and though it was just a dusting, it still felt appropriate. Thanksgiving is behind us, and the holidays are upon us. And for this blog, now what? Any suggestions? What do you want to read? How often do you want to read it? I'm all ears. Ya'll have been wonderful and genuine and generous, and I very much appreciate it. There I go again…this giving thanks thing may be hard to give up. J

Wall Street traders, even the Irish among them, could be excused today for letting out a "Roll Tide!" cheer.
As college football fans turn their attention to tonight's national championship game, investors might like to know that the stock market performs much better in the year following when the Alabama Crimson Tide wears the crown as opposed to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.
When 'Bama reigns, the market, in fact, rises an average of 1.95 percent - modest, to be sure, but better than the average 1.38 percent loss it posts when the Irish wear the crown, according to Bespoke Investment Group.
The Tide have won 14 championships as opposed to Notre Dame's 11. (Read More: Notre Dame vs. Alabama, Likely Most Wagered BCS Game)
In recent times, the disparity has been even clearer.
For the past five times Alabama has won, the market has risen each year with an average return of 10.2 percent.
There is a worst-case scenario.
There have been two occasions - prior to the Bowl Championship Series - where both Alabama and Notre Dame had claim to the title in the same season. (Read More: College Football: Why Pressure to Win Is So Big)
On those occasions, in 1930 and 1973, the market fell a respective 53 percent and 28 percent.Another reason, then, to love the BCS, even if your time doesn't pull it out tonight.
Oddsmakers, by the way, have Alabama as a 9-1/2 point favorite for tonight's big game.

Browns Valley man laid to rest 40 years after being shot down in VietnamBrowns Valley, Minn. (WDAY TV) - A fallen Vietnam veteran is finally home. More than four decades after being shot down in Vietnam, the Browns Valley man is laid to rest.
On this Father's Day Weekend, a homecoming like no other in Brown's Valley, Minnesota. Today, the family of Captain Darrell Spinler finally got a chance to bury the brother and father of two.
Dwayne Spinler - Son: "It's a relief, our entire famly and all our friends are forever grateful."
Spinler's son Dwayne was six the last time he saw his father. The memories are few but vivid. The emotions overwhelming after hundreds showed up to honor his father.
Spinler: "As we arrived into town behind my father's hearse, it was the most powerful sense of pride and honor I've ever experienced in my life."
Spinler graduated from South Dakota State in 1960 and was trained as a Fighter Pilot, before he was shot down June 21st, 1967.
Mike Kuss – Vietnam Veteran: "Many times we fail to remember the people that faught and lost their lives and this is just one way to pay them back."
Steve Carlson – Vietnam Veteran: "He gave the ultimate sacrifice and as a fellow Vietnam Veteran I really fealt strongly about coming and showing his family and relatives support."
But for Dwayne, now a father of his own. Finally a sense of closure.
Spinler: "My father was missing after 44 years and he's now back home."
Veterans from as far as Bismarck came to pay their respects. Many rode motorcycles as members of the Patriot Guard, carrying flags and leading the funeral procession.
Members of the American Legion and V-F-W held flags at the burial ceremony in honor of Spinler. Vets came from the tri-states.
DAVE ECKER - American Legion: "The show of patriotism is extraordinary today. We are just happy to do this for the family so they know where their father and grandfather, whatever, they know where he's at."
More than 16-hundred service members are still missing from the Vietnam War.

WHITLEY COUNTY ŌĆö Before the books close on the month of November, the girls basketball teams of Whitley County will have completed nearly 25 percent of their seasons.
Columbia City
The Lady Eagles are 3-1 and are heading for a Friday game at Fort Wayne North Side.
Columbia City has scored some big wins, avenging losses from last season by beating Marion and Fort Wayne Snider.
It was the first win over Snider in four seasons and the first in two against Marion.
Tuesday, the Lady Eagles lost their first game of the year, falling in overtime to Leo on their home floor in Columbia City.
WHITLEY COUNTY ŌĆö Boys basketball officially began in Whitley County Wednesday.
In the Columbia City-Whitko rivalry game, the Eagles downed the Wildcats in South Whitley, 49-31.
ChurubuscoŌĆÖs squad dropped an overtime game to Adams Central, after a last-second 3-pointer at the buzzer to win, 58-56.
At Whitko, Wildcat Dylan Cumberland was the leading scorer, tallying 16 points for the ŌĆÖCats. His teammate, Nate Walpole, was WhitkoŌĆÖs second-leading scorer.
WHITLEY COUNTY ŌĆö With one day until Thanksgiving, the boys basketball teams of Whitley County will tip off their 2013-14 seasons tonight.
Columbia City and Whitko will hold their traditional battle, set for the day before Thanksgiving. Churubusco will host Adams Central.
Last season, Columbia City picked up a 69-26 win against Whitko on its way to a 20-4 campaign.
The last time the Wildcats have gotten a win over the Eagles was in November of 2008, when they pulled out a five-point win against Columbia City.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö A two-sport star at Columbia City will continue her career on the volleyball court at a Big Ten school.
Kalisha Goree, who just finished her senior year as a Lady Eagle, will go on to play volleyball at Ohio State University.
Goree will take her near year-round dedication to volleyball and apply it as a Buckeye, since she also plays club volleyball in addition to her time with Columbia City High School.
Playing at the next level has been a goal on GoreeŌĆÖs mind for years.
SOUTH WHITLEY ŌĆö WhitkoŌĆÖs girls basketball team grabbed its first win against a Class 4A team in several seasons Friday against Huntington North.
Paced by 21 points from Aly Reiff, the Lady Wildcats beat the Lady Vikings 57-51.
The last time Whitko beat a Class 4A team was in 2008 against Warsaw.
The 3-1 Lady Wildcats handed Huntington North its first loss, knocking the Lady Vikings to 2-1 on the year.
COLUMBIA CITY ŌĆö Indian Springs Middle SchoolŌĆÖs four boys basketball teams began their seasons this week with some close games.
The seventh-grade Stars opened their season with an exciting 28-27 win over Milford Middle School Monday.
With three seconds left in the game, tied at 27, Dalton Bell hit the second of two free throws to secure the win for the Stars.
They were led in scoring by Collin Wood with 16 points, followed by John OŌĆÖDellŌĆÖs six, BellŌĆÖs four and Zach SlagalŌĆÖs two points.
GOSHEN ŌĆö ChurubuscoŌĆÖs girls basketball team had a rough start to its Northeast Corner Conference schedule for 2013-14.
The Lady Eagles lost at Fairifield, 60-24.
The defeat drops ŌĆÖBusco to 1-3 on the year, and 0-1 in the conference.
For the Lady Falcons, it was their first game of the season overall, putting them at 1-0 to start the campaign.
FairfieldŌĆÖs Jenny Kiper led all scorers with 24 points overall. Teammate Katie Yates chipped in nine.
Churubusco was led by Shelby Brockman, Alisha Farner and Montanta Martin with six each.
COLUMBIA CITYŌĆö Following in someone elseŌĆÖs footsteps and still having success can be difficult.
But Columbia City senior Andrea Richter has done that in the pool, first at her high school, and soon at her college of choice.
Richter signed this past Friday to swim at Ball State University. She will be the second member of her family to swim as a Cardinal.
Her older sister, Haley, is a senior at Ball State University this season, and has been part of several record-setting relay teams.
Andrea Richter has already qualified for the state meet as a Lady Eagle.
WhitkoŌĆÖs wrestling team held its intrasquad match Wednesday. Matches included the one seen here, where Evan Cozad fights to escape from Cole Findley.
COLUMBIA CITYŌĆö After dotting the record book at Columbia City, one Lady Eagle senior will carry on her career in Bloomington.
Samantha Roush officially signed last week to run track and cross country for Indiana University.
She is fresh off a cross country season that saw her take home 44th in the state meet.
Running at the state cross country meet in Terre Haute was nothing new for Roush, though.
The Lady Eagle senior ran at state all four years of her career, peaking with a 10th-place finish as a sophomore.
This season, she was the lone Whitley County runner at the meet.

One-acts dominate at Humana Festival of New American Plays
Is the two-act play on the short road to extinction?
Are Americans becoming simply too busy to patiently await the rewards of anything longer than a brisk one-act?
Are today's emerging playwrights even interested in tackling longer works? And if they are, do they have the talent and good judgment to sustain them?
Such unsettling questions arose repeatedly during the 38th annual Humana Festival of New American Plays.
Not one of the full-length works included an intermission in the expertly staged productions unveiled on three stages at the Actors Theatre of Louisville, Ky.Posted by Michael Grossberg on April 18, 2014 01:26 PM

Theater critics name winners of nation's largest regional new-play award
A cranky high school student in desperate need of a liver transplant is enticed by a basketball-star classmate into helping him finish a school project in I And You.
The American Theatre Critics Association has selected Lauren Gunderson's comic drama, which premiered in October at Marin Theatre Company in Mill Valley, Calif., as the top 2014 winner in its Harold and Mimi Steinberg/ATCA New Play Award.
Two other plays were recognized, including one that premiered in Ohio.
Gunderson received $25,000 and a plaque last weekend at the American Theatre Critics Association conference, which took place during the Humana Festival of New American Plays at the Actors Theatre of Louisville, Ky.
William Hirschman, chair of the ATCA New Play Committee that judges the scripts, described I and You as a "delicate but droll play about teenagers exploring life and death."
Gunderson, a writer-teacher based on the San Francisco area, had five world premieres in 2013 and 2014. Her works include Exit Pursued by a Bear, Leap, Toil & Trouble, By and By, Silent Sky and Bauer. A Playwright in Resident at The Playwrights Foundation, she is a Dramatists Guild member and was a member of Just Theatre's New Play Lab.
Gunderson's play was presented at Marin Theatre Company as part of the National New Play Network's rolling world premiere program.
The annual award recognizes playwrights for scripts that premiere professionally outside New York City during the previous year.
Two citations that carry $7,500 each also were presented to Christopher Demos-Brown for Fear Up Harsh and Martin Zimmerman for Seven Spots on the Sun.
Demos-Brown's play, according to an ATCA release, dramatizes "the secret backstory to the awarding of a Congressional Medal of Honor to a wounded Marine. The truth emerges in this mercilessly penetrating interrogation about how our need for heroes undefined a need even among the heroes themselves – can trump the very values of truth, honor and loyalty that they fought to preserve."
The play received its world premiere in November at Zoetic Stage in Miami, Fla.
Zimmerman's Seven Spots on the Sun blends magical realism and political themes.
"It is an affecting tale that examines whether forgiveness is truly possible, set against the ravages of civil war, lust, plague and a consuming need for vengeance. A widowed doctor in a small village and a newly-married soldier charged with subduing dissent take converging journeys towards redemption in this harrowing play," Hirschman said.
The play was unveiled in October at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park.
The winners were selected from 28 eligible scripts submitted by ATCA members to a committee of 19 theater critics, led by Hirschman, FloridaTheaterOnStage.com.
Other members are Misha Berson, Seattle Times; Bruce Burgun, freelance (Bloomington, Ind.); Lindsay Christians, The Capital Times (Madison, Wisc.); Mark Cofta, Philadelphia City Paper; Pam Harbaugh, Florida Today (Melbourne); Lou Harry, Indianapolis Business Journal/IBJ.com; Michael P. Howley, theatremontgomery.blogspot.com; Erin Keane, Louisville Public Media; Jerry Kraft, www.SeattleActor.com (Port Angeles, Wash.); Elizabeth Maupin, Orlando; Julius Novick, veteran critic and professor (New York City); Kathryn Osenlund, CurtainUp, Phindie (Philadelphia); Wendy Parker, Midlothian, Va.; Nelson Pressley, Washington Post; David Sheward, ArtsinNY.com, Theaterlife.com, NewYork.com; Herb Simpson, artesmagazine.com/theater and totaltheater.com (Geneseo, N.Y.); Steve Treacy, Port Townsend Leader; and Tim Treanor, DC Theater Scene.
"The plays reflect themes and settings encompassing bullying, racism, sexual identity in a repressive society, a street-level view of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and genocidal civil war," Hirschman said.
"Some works completely re-invented established 20th century works like The Crucible, The Seagull and The Heiress for a new century audience. They showed how technology is creating previously unimagined ethical questions and asked tough questions about how the economic downtown has challenged what people thought were their unshakeable values."
At $40,000, Steinberg/ATCA is the largest national new play award program recognizing regional theaters as the crucible for new plays in the United States.
In 1977, ATCA began to honor new plays produced at theaters outside New York City, where there are many awards. Since 2000, the award has been generously funded by the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust.
Past honorees include Lanford Wilson, Marsha Norman, August Wilson, Arthur Miller, Mac Wellman, Donald Margulies, Lynn Nottage, Moises Kaufman and Craig Lucas. Last year's honoree was Robert Schenkkan's All The Way, which subsequently opened on Broadway.
The Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust was created in 1986 by Harold Steinberg on behalf of himself and his late wife. Pursuing its primary mission to support the American theater, it has provided grants totaling millions of dollars for new productions of American plays and educational programs for those who may not ordinarily experience live theater.
ATCA, founded in 1974 as the only national association of professional theater critics, works to raise critical standards and public awareness of critics' functions and responsibilities.
Members work for newspapers, magazines, radio and television stations and websites, including The Dispatch.

Straight White Men: Veteran TV/film actor Austin Pendleton and three other New York actors grapple with gender, privilege
A white father and his three middle-aged sons confront their own gender and racial privileges in Straight White Men.
The Wexner Center for the Arts will present Young Jean Lee Theatre Company's world premiere April 10-13 of Jean Lee's play.
"I'm not actually that fascinated by men – I'm generally much more intrigued by women," Lee said in an email interview.
"But one thing I found fascinating in this process was learning all the unspoken rules and codes that we use to limit and confine men in our culture," she said.Posted by Michael Grossberg on March 31, 2014 06:39 PM

Post subject: Denver St. Patrick's Day Parade
It's almost that time of year again -- St. Patrick's Day is coming!
It's time to get ready for the fun in downtown Denver.
This year's parade will be similar to past year's events. The RMFF has graciously paid for the entry fee and will be providing the skiff float. They are inviting members from the Mountain Garrison 501st, the Mountain Base Rebel Legion and the Mandalorian Mercs to attend.
(The Colorado Movie Cars group will not be participating in the parade this year, by their own choice --they were invited.)
Zoo (Jennifer Peterson) will not be able to organize the event on site, so she asked me to head that up this year. I've already talked to Brack and to Jeff with the RMFF/RL. We are excited about having the chance to participate in the parade again this year.
Due to construction near Coors Field, we may have to ride the light rail down again.
Kilted Troopers are welcome.
Please post up if you are interested, and what you will wear. I will maintain a list of all interested people so we can get a good head count.
Saturday, March 16
Plan to arrive about 8AM to kit up. Kick off time is 10.
We will know about what time we will kick off once we get word on what entry number we are.

If you have not already done so, please join the event page on Facebook:
We could use more people at the parade. There are 2 other events that day, so I know it's tough to choose between them all, but if you can, we could definitely use more people in Denver. We usually have a huge turnout. So far, this looks like our smallest turnout in years.

127 Franklin Rd, Brentwood, TN | Directions 3702736.035807 -86.788780
Mon. - Fri. 11am - 3pm;Sat. 5pm - 10pm;Sun. CLOSED
Great first visit – We recently went to eat at The Yellow Porch but didn't have a reservation and they were full, they ask if we would like for them to call Wild Iris and see if they had room. The only room at Wild Iris was at the bar so they saved us two seats.
We had been wanting to eat at Wild Iris for sometime but don't get to Brentwood very often but we had a great time! From the first course thru dessert was fantastic!! Will definately be back and will probably sit at the bar, very cozy and a great bartender!
Okay, for Brentwood – If you find yourself in Brentwood and crave something fresh and healthy, this place is pretty good.
Jeckyll & Hyde – I've been several times during lunch—sometimes the restaurant was packed and we sat at the bar, other times it was strangely empty in the middle of the typical lunch. Almost every time (with the exception of the bar experiences)—we've been relatively ignored by our server. Food has come out at different times, or things were forgotten, drinks ignored, etc.
Good service should come standard with any restaurant experience—pricey or not. We finally just quit going and began choosing other options in the Brentwood area. If you do want to support the owners—try Yellow Porch in 100 Oaks. It's far superior.
great for business lunch – We eat lunch at Wild Iris at least once a month for business. The lunch menu is well-priced (around $10) and the food is excellent. We've always had good service. The dinner menu is more expensive.
To refer to the other reviews in this thread - it's not Applebee's. You won't enjoy dining at Wild Iris if you prefer large chain restaurants. There are no booths. It's a small independent restaurant. That said, the portions are not tiny. We generally have take-home boxes in our hands when we leave.
If you've heard of aoili or chutney, or if you like to try new foods, you'll like Wild Iris. Try the smoked turkey sandwich with mango chutney as a wrap.
Very nice! – In town on business and hotel recommended this restaurant last night Wow! Every course was delicious, especially the shark, definately fresh! Server was very helpful in wine selection and pairing with food. Will be back! Thanks
Over-rated, over-priced and over-hyped – Took our son to the Wild Iris at his request for his birthday, I won't be back...birthday or no birthday. Not impressed with the wine list so we did not partake. Food was O-K...thats all, portions were small
("pretty-food") and prices were high. I think people go there so they can say they went, or they go there to be seen because of its "trendy" social status.
Not impressed, won't be back
I'm Confused.. – At all the positive ratings this place has received. Nice wine list and local microbrews on tap, but the food and service would get an Applebees manager fired. The only thing I can possibly come up with is that there are few local eateries to compare it to.
Took my family there last weekend: The service was poor and inattentive, the appetizers and entrees were either cold and undercooked or dry and overcooked. The manager/owner was rude.
Enough said. We won?t be back.
over rated, under served and over charged – The issue and salvation of this place is one in the same. There are only 1 or 2 good restaurants in Brentwood, so Wild Iris has been able to make it because of the lack of competetion. The food is okay nothing to write about, the wine selction is plentiful. The issue is the prices are out of range for where they should be. The sevice is pretty decent, but the menu is not exciting, nor is the food anything you can't create at home. With fuel pricing rising and the economy slowing how long can an okay restaurant stay in business??
I would rather see Wid Iris bump the effort than bump off the restaurant scene.
Dissapointed as well as dissatisfied – I work nearby this establishment and often drive by. I always wanted to visit but, now that I have, I wished I had just kept on "driving by". It's too conjested for starters. My wife and I either felt like we were on display or we were in the way of everyone. Our service was mediocre. The gentleman serving us was a little to interested in "visiting" one of his other tables than taking quality care of us as well. The wine list was commendable, though. It was quite a nice selection. The prices were a little out of the range they should have been and, I have no dilemma paying for quality. My wife had a linguini dish that was tasty and she enjoyed it. I ordered the special however, and it was bland and not quite "special". Basically, I would not endorse this place.
Disappointing – I too thought I would give this restaurant a try after reading some great reviews. I will not be going back. Our service was TERRIBLE and the food was just ok and took a really long time. It was a Tuesday night, not crowded at all. It may have been just an off night, but nothing I saw there even remotely makes me want to give it a second chance.

Virtual L ®
Cost: Free
Organizer: 57th Street Art Fair Committee
What to expect: A wide range of painting, sculpture, photography and more.
Why to go: The free Art Buying Boot Camp (register on the website) should get you in shape for the upcoming season. You'll take a guided tour through the fair with local artists experts who can answer the dos and don'ts of buying art.
Additional info: This is a notable one: The 57th Street Art Fair is an unofficial kick-off of sorts to a summer packed with arts festivals. It's also the Midwest's oldest juried art fair, featuring the work of more than 250 artists. Now in its 63rd year, the fest draws more than 100,000 attendees. It's also one of the country's largest not-for-profit art fairs, dedicated to displaying original art by artists who sell their own work.
A quick history lesson: The 57th Street Art Fair originated in 1948 thanks to the talents and vision of Hyde Park gallery owner Mary Louise Womer, who saw a need for networking between local artists and their public. Initially open to all artists, its juried status is a testament to its popularity among submitting artists.

|Chasing Michael, or, How to Corner a Corporate Nemesis
|April 10, 1998
|Hubert B. Herring
Michael Moore doesn't look like Public Enemy No. 1. But one glimpse of that supposedly benign doughy face - with those squarish glasses and shaggy hair topped by the baseball cap that's become Moore's symbol of working-class solidarity - sends CEOs ducking behind their desks. Woe to the big kahunas who find the filmmaker waiting in their lobby, paying an unannounced visit. The self-described "schlub from Flint" who took on General Motors in his acclaimed 1989 film, "Roger & Me," is at it again, and this time he's avenging more than the workers of his hometown. His latest documentary, "The Big One," shows Moore in the role that was always meant for him: America's Corporate Avenger. He earned that title with "Roger & Me" and his work on the best television program nobody watched, "TV Nation." "The Big One" continues in this vein, dumping the horrors of downsizing into our laps while ribbing the top dogs at every turn. It is at once disturbing, depressing and painfully hilarious as we watch corporations lie and resort to childish trickery to get Moore off their backs. Interspersing tense confrontations with footage of his special appearances only adds to the absurdity; it's no coincidence that "The Big One" is a stand-up documentary formatted to resemble "Seinfeld." It's named after Moore's suggestion for a sexier, bolder name for the United States.
Moore filmed his movie while on the promotional tour for his best-selling book, "Downsize This! Random Threats From an Unarmed American," and sadly enough, he didn't have to struggle to find material for the film. In just about every town Moore visited on his 47-city tour, a factory or a plant was being closed. The vanishing jobs, we soon learn, aren't due to financial hardship: When corporations post record earnings in a year, many close their factories and head south of the border for cheaper workers so they can make even more money. At the center of Moore's film is one question that largely goes unanswered: Why? Whether it's the Centralia, Ill., Payday plant or the offices of Procter & Gamble, the filmmaker is stonewalled at every attempt to get an answer. The cameras continue to roll no matter what, making for some side-splitting moments, even when the crew faces arrest. Moore's only success is with the man you'd think would be hardest to get, Nike CEO Phil Knight, whose pleasantly pointless audience with Moore ends the film on a questionable note.
Corporations aren't Moore's only targets. "The Big One" is also seasoned with political commentary, since most of the film takes place right before the November elections.
Thus, Moore dispenses theories about Steve Forbes being an alien along with Jack Handy-esque observations such as, "Do you have the feeling we're going to have the lowest turnout ever in an election? It's depressing! Let's go to McDonald's."
Along the way, Moore jams with Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, meets an ex-con who worked for an airline while doing time and has a clandestine meeting with Borders books employees trying to unionize.
Some moments in Moore's documentary actually show a glimmer of hope. But perhaps the most depressing thing about the film is that for all of the filmmaker's efforts, things aren't likely to change soon. At least "The Big One" encourages laughter in the face of adversity, and in the end, the truth and a smile seem to be Moore's best defense - and corporate America's greatest foe.

Walcott coming of age under the radar
Theo Walcott has often been an easy target for criticism from fans given the expectations placed upon him when signed from Southampton in 2006. The sizable price tag (which ended up being 9.1 million pounds) didn't help Walcott either.
It seemed for a long time that the pressure weighed him down and his development wasn't as quick as many expected. However during the 2012-13 season, for one of the first times as an Arsenal fan, I found myself questioning if Gooners were being too harsh on Walcott and not giving him enough credit for some key contributions.
When there was a lot of speculation about his future at the start of the season, I found myself being overly critical of Walcott's performances. I particularly remember the Capital One Cup match with Coventry in September. Walcott hadn't been able to hold down a place in the starting XI, there were constant stories about him wanting to play as the central striker and doubts about him signing a new contract. Everything at that time seemed a bit as if Walcott was slowly being cast adrift from the club.
-Agent says Bayern, Barca targeting Koscielny
Against Coventry, Walcott scored two goals in the second half, having started on the right of the front three. Throughout the game, I thought Walcott was coming inside too much off the right touchline, as if to try and prove a point that he was a striker and not a winger.
That dubious feeling about Walcott's form persisted for a lot of fans until he signed the new contract in January as it then became clear that he wasn't playing to force a move elsewhere.
While I was frustrated on that September evening in the League Cup, it was just part of Walcott showing his improved movement and reading of the game in 2012-13.
It's well known Walcott is at his most dangerous when running into space behind a high defensive line, and with players such as Santi Cazorla and Tomas Rosicky able to thread passes in behind the full back, Walcott can be dangerous when making a run around the defender into the inside right channel. He scored against Manchester United, West Ham and Coventry from that inside right position.
He also offers the option of making a spinning run into the middle from the flanks. His first goal at Reading was a good example of moving with the play and then exploiting the space in the middle of the pitch to score.
The key for Walcott is getting the balance right and not leaving the team lopsided when making runs from the right. Because of his his pace, he's still most effective when running from wide areas as he is more difficult to mark when he has built up momentum. There are still doubts about his hold-up play and ability to lead the line as a lone striker as he can be closed down faster if the ball is played into him with his back to goal.
While Walcott did go through a lean spell without scoring during February and March, he undoubtedly stepped up as a more senior player last season to help compensate for the loss of Robin van Persie. Twenty-one goals was a good return, and was comfortably his best in an Arsenal shirt.
As one of the oldest-serving players at the club, it's easy to forget that he is just 24. Many other players have gone on to have major, prolific goal-scoring seasons when they were three or four years older than Walcott. The 2012-13 season was his best in terms of development and for important contributions to the team, and with the potential for him to improve, despite the wrangling that went on, it was good news that he signed a new contract. He's still developing and deserves some more credit for what he did last season. More of the same please, Theo.

BOOKS review of David Maraniss's "Barack Obama: The Story" (Simon & Schuster). "I believe that life is chaotic, a jumble of accidents, ambitions, misconceptions, bold intentions, lazy happenstances, and unintended consequences," Maraniss writes in "Barack Obama: The Story" (Simon & Schuster), "yet I also believe that there are connections that illuminate our world, revealing its endless mystery and wonder." Maraniss is an editor at the Washington Post. His research took him around the world. He interviewed hundreds of people and made many remarkable discoveries. His six-hundred-page book is full of riveting stories, shrewd observations, and fascinating details. It's like reading Michener. There is something quite searching and wonderful about seeing much of history as a chaos of chance. It has a few pitfalls, however. One is that it renders brutality, as a driver of the course of human events, hard to see and even harder to gauge. Politics and economics appear in Maraniss's account, in carefully researched detail: slavery and abolition, Jim Crow and civil rights in the United States, and colonialism, imperialism, and anti-colonialism in Kenya and Indonesia. But they can seem like richly painted stage cloth. Another difficulty is that telling the story of the President's ancestors to explain how the President became the President is a teleological project, and a teleologist who embraces randomness is in some danger of finding himself unable to decide which details to include and which to leave out. No American's ancestry has been the subject of more scrutiny than Barack Obama's, and, for that reason, few American Presidents have had more of an effect on the writing of Presidential biography. The scrutiny began with self-searching, in Obama's 1995 memoir, "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance." And then, during the 2008 Presidential campaign, it plummeted into absurdity with the charge that the Democratic candidate was not a U.S. citizen. Maraniss, then, is embracing the beauty and, in a way, the innocence of randomness partly as a way of battling what he calls "strange armies of ideological pseudo-historians" who have researched Barack Obama's origins in order to argue some or all of the following: that he is not an American citizen, that he was born in Nairobi, that he was educated at a madrassa in Jakarta, that he is a Muslim, that he is a Kenyan nationalist, and that he is an anti-imperialist and a socialist.

The business opposition to Canada's anti-spam
legislation has added an unlikely supporter: the Canadian Recording
Industry Association, now known as Music Canada. The organization has
launched an advocacy campaign
against the law, claiming that it "will particularly hurt indie labels,
start-ups, and bands struggling to build a base and a career." Music Canada is urging people to tweet at Canadian Heritage Minister James Moore to ask him to help bands who it says will suffer from anti-spam legislation.
Yet Music Canada's specific examples mislead its
members about the impact of the legislation. The organization offers
seven examples posted below in italics (my comments immediately follow):

Parent PLUS loans: Parents can obtain this loan to help pay the cost of education for their dependent children. This loan requires a credit check and in some cases an eligible cosigner. Repayment may begin after the final disbursement for the term. Deferment options are available.
Grad PLUS loans: Graduate students may obtain this loan to cover educational expenses not covered by their Direct loans. This loan requires a credit check and in some cases an eligible cosigner. Graduate students may be able to defer repayment of their PLUS loans until after the student is no longer enrolled in school at least halftime. Interest will continue to accrue. For Logan students you will need to reapply for this loan each award period.
Logan's low student loan default rate is 0.7 percent, considerably better than the national rate of 6.7 percent and the 6.0 percent average for Missouri schools. It reflects highly on our graduates' ability and willingness to repay their financial obligations after chiropractic college.
Students not previously receiving Direct Loans before transferring to Logan will need to complete the Direct Loan Master Promissory note (MPN). This may be done through the website, www.studentloans.gov; Please select the Subsidized/Unsubsidized loan. To complete the MPN you will need your U.S. Department of Education PIN. This will act as your electronic signature. You will be asked to provide your driver's license number and two references.

Clair Sarsozo - Navigating grief
May 10, 2013
Each of us is born with a timer — a limit to the number of times our hearts will beat. But the concept of death seems contrary to the habit of following our naturally progressive hopes and dreams for the future. This habit tends to render us incapable of anticipating the eventual final breath of loved ones.
Each individual's grief is unique to the circumstances of a person's death, commensurate with the relationship held. As survivors, we join the departed on a new journey — ours is known as grief and mourning.
My personal journey through grief has required me to reconcile my hopes for my family and community with the gaping void left when they die. For me, the balance can be accomplished only by facing my despair, resolving my vulnerability and attempting to demonstrate one way of navigating this journey.
Loss of my parents
I was 12 in when my father died, in 1976. Triggered by shock, denial kept me from comprehending the reality of his death. I imagined he was off on an exciting adventure to an unknown place, and that one day I would see him again. My brain simply was unable to fully understand what had happened.
Our relationship had a solid bond, but our broken family prevented our spending regular time together. His death, and the absence of his emotional support and guidance, triggered painful emotions including anger, fear, resentment, emptiness, abandonment — normal feelings in even the most supportive environments.
Before my mother died of cancer five years later, I found myself bargaining with God, offering to trade places. After her death, I called upon God to bring her to my dreams, where I hoped to experience maternal guidance. She visited my dreams for 17 years before "crossing the bridge." At that point, I realized my own autonomy. With therapy and self-enlightenment, I have learned to care for myself in the ways I longed for from my deceased mother.
My son's violent death
When my son was murdered in 2011, knowing what he endured from the unfathomable will of another human being was unbearable. But chemical releases within my brain kept me numb and protected me from the full emotional impact of this horrific reality. It's as though God allows me to feel only as much of his traumatic death as I am able to bear. Imagining he was ushered into heaven by my parents and a host of ancestors has helped me cope.
Also, holding the feet of the judicial system to the fire provided a necessary distraction from facing my raw emotions. Of course, I still feel shock, guilt, pain, bargaining, blame, denial, anger, depression, distrust and emptiness. New events and my memories seem to trigger these intense feelings, which are normal and appropriate. The deep impact of my son's murder initiated a tsunami of ripple effects.
Connections with family and community can be comforting as well as painful. Some people in my life offer every ounce of support they can muster; others don't know what to do or say; others are bullies impatient with my process. My heartfelt appreciation goes to everyone and anyone who has been, who is and who will be present throughout this journey.
No comparisons can be drawn among the circumstances of these deaths in my life. But at least with my father and mother, I was able to be present with them before their passing. Not so with my son.
Each death evokes a spiritual connection that transcends this human experience, which is the source of my strength to endure this journey.
If you are grieving, the feelings you experience are normal and appropriate. I encourage you to learn from others experiencing something similar. I attend a free grief support group hosted by Legacy Hospice from 3 to 4:30 p.m. each Monday at the McMinnville Senior Center, 2250 N.E. McDaniel Lane.
If you know someone who is grieving, I encourage you to educate yourself. You can learn appropriate ways to support and nurture them through their mourning with gentle kindness and compassion. It's your chance to demonstrate how you want to be treated when it's your turn to grieve.
Guest writer Clair Sarsozo moved to McMinnville seeking a safe haven among her family after the murder of her son. She is a self-taught bookbinder and recently self-published her first children's book, inspired by her three grandchildren. She believes a positive attitude and enthusiastic outlook help with life's transitions.

Photo Archive App Shoebox Fills In Your Facebook Timeline, Starting At Birth
By Shane Snow [1]|
January 26, 2012
Starting today, the app from 1000memories lets users conveniently start digitizing the world's 4 trillion paper snapshots and slapping them on Facebook. Genealogy freaks, swoon.
The iPhone app ShoeBox [2] helps preserve your browning family Polaroids from the '80s while rendering obsolete your clunky old scanner from the '90s. And now the app is partnering with Facebook [3] to integrate directly with Timeline [4] and fill out that dead zone between "Birth" and the invention of Facebook.
Along the way, the service plans to collect a treasure trove of data (photos = 1,000 words, remember), and maybe even send shivers up the spines of big online genealogy services.
As every bit of analog info in our world undergoes an electronic transfiguration, the digitization of the world's paper photos was inevitable. And it's in this endeavor that ShoeBox shines. It finds photo edges and adjusts for level and tilt, making it easier than ever for Facebook's 800 million+ users to preserve their pasts.
ShoeBox was created by 1000memories, a social network for past memories whose home page looks like a Pinterest for awkward family photos. Launched in 2010 out of San Francisco's Y-Combinator startup accelerator program, 1000memories originally focused on helping people posthumously [5] tell loved ones' life stories, after cofounder Rudy Adler experienced the "Facebook death problem" through a close friend's passing. "After someone passes, it inspires people to go into their closet and pull out their life story," Adler says. "But," the company soon realized, "they also pull out other life stories."
Last March, 1000memories announced a shift away from strictly memorials, billing itself a wider, "past-tense social network." It began to support photo tagging, so users could share and discover old photos of themselves and loved ones.
"We have our most cherished memories in our closets sitting all alone, and if there's a fire, they're the first thing we want to grab," Adler says.
The inspiration for ShoeBox came when Adler's team noticed users taking iPhone pics of their paper photos instead of dismantling their scrapbooks to fit in a desktop scanner. The appeal of mobile scanning is obvious: no need to remove photos from their decorative frames, no danger of having to plop a brittle black-and-white face down on glass.
The release of ShoeBox in October 2011 immediately turned heads at Facebook HQ.
"Facebook Timeline launched a month before we launched ShoeBox," Adler says. "We ... got a lot of good response, including an email from Zuck [6] saying he was really excited."
With today's announcement that Facebook Timeline will help kickstart the archiving of the world's photos, 1000memories hopes it's on its way to building an enormous memory database.
"We estimate there are 4 trillion paper photos out there," Adler says. "Compared to Flickr, which has more than 6 billion."
He envisions ShoeBox and 1000memories being used to archive every paper photo in history, "so they can live on."
The current business model, Adler says, is to open up a freemium version in which users can pay for more space or--ingeniously--for backups of their most precious memories.
While Adler was vague on how his company could harness the enormous data contained in digitized versions of 4 trillion paper photos, it's not too hard to imagine the possibilities it would open up. The treasure trove of crowdsourced photos could seriously disrupt the online genealogy industry.
"We have a lot of genealogists on the site, because there's not a great photo sharing site for them," Adler says, then hesitates and says they're going to wait to see if it's an need for which they can help solve.
Adler's being humble. Anyone with a genealogy freak for a mother knows of the ravenous appetite for data that exists in the family history space--especially for photos and documents. Ancestry.com, for example, makes $300 million a year [7] from the thousands of seniors pecking at keyboards in Salt Lake City, Utah, and gallivanting through Europe hunting for tombstones. Once 1000memories starts connecting the dots in its photo archive, it may be in for a crazy, old time. (This all benefits Facebook, too, whose massive database of profile pics [8] and other images and associated tags [9] is a valuable trove of data, one that could power face-recognition [10] tech and more [11].)
"The innovation for genealogists is they're really obsessed with family history," Adler says, a total understatement. "And this gives them a little cred."

On-tap at Stone Sour Fest
A: The pour is the same murky mahogany color that Red Poppy is, with a nice off-white head.
S: The cherries are certainly noticeable, and that's what I was expecting. Good oak notes as well, a mild mustiness, and a hint of acetic acid along.
T: The flavor is completely dominated by the cherries and the wood. The two battle back and forth, each sip seems to alternate which characteristic is more prevalent. There is a more complex flavor than with regular Red Poppy, that seems to have additional some yeast esters. Not overly sour, but nicely tart.
M: The body is medium with a rolling and smooth carbonation. This one is bone dry.
D: As to whether I like this or "regular" Red Poppy more, I can't really say. Both were quite enjoyable and different in their own ways.

On tap at Night of the Barrels 2011. Reviewed from notes.
Pours a dirty dark garnet color with an off-white head and a good amount of lacing on the way down. The cherries really dominate throughout. Regular Red Poppy has enough when fresh, but this takes it to another level. Interesting to note is that Tomme said that no new cherries are added; rather, the regular version is combined with extra cherry juice when kegging. Good lactic character with a bit of oak, as well as some acetic acid. The latter is mild.
The flavor does a beautiful job combining acidity with the fruit and then throwing in a bit of oak and tannin for good measure. Nice complexity and a dominant fruit presence. Supremely tart with mild notes of acetic acid. Oak carries through the finish. Fantastic brew. Well done.

Tap at Armsby Abbey for Lost Abbey takeover.
Pours a light fizzy head, dark murky brown color.
Nose has dark fruits, tart fruits, a sour mash malt, lots of fruit, hint of caramel, brown malts, etc.
Taste is super fruity, lots of tart cherry, sour malt, brown malt, almost but not quite cough syrupy like, plenty of balotin cherry, sweet malts and syrup, bit of acidity, not flemmy either, dry finish, super tart as well, more cherry and a bit of fruit lingering. Fairly sweet overall.
Mouth is med to lighter bodied, good carb.
Overall not bad, decent flanders, nice fruits, malts, sour and tart flavors, not really acidic or flemmy, fairly drinkable.

Since I'm a fan of the regular Red Poppy I made sure that I grabbed some of this at the EBF 2012. The beer poured out as a cloudy looking brown color with a tan colored head on top. The smell was BIG, this sucker has lots and lots of sour aromas coming off of it. The sour cherry and wooden barrel aromas are one of the strongest I've smelled in a beer here. The taste of the beer made me realize how much strong this beer can be, I actually made a face when swallowing this brew. The oak flavors with all that extra cherry really kick you in the teeth. The mouthfeel was similar the regular version I thought. Overall it's a very tart beer with a lot to offer to people who really enjoy this style. I still prefer the original version over this one though.

From 03/11/11 notes. Had on tap at Night of the Barrels up in Boston, MA.
a - Pours a murky ruby red color with less than an inch of white head and light carbonation evident.
s - Smells of sour cherries, sour raspberries, vinegar, oak, and other tart fruits. Little bit of funk as well, but not too much; much more of a sour fruit thing going on in the nose.
t - Tastes of tart cherries, oak, sour dark fruits, and some funk. A little more oak and funk than the nose, but that tart cherries is up front again. Great taste.
m - Medium body and moderate carbonation.
d - A really great sour from Lost Abbey. Unfortunately I haven't had the normal Red Poppy yet, but would love to have this one again. Lots of tart cherries and sour fruits in the nose and taste.

Review from notes taken on my phone back in March. The pour yields a color of hazy brownish coloration, a bit of redness somewhat reminiscent of overly ripe cherries. An off-white head forms across the top. When swirled, it regains about a fingers strength and displays a lighter brown color.
The smell of this brew is tangy initially with some funk aspect, minerals and earth following. Again here the smell picks up a distinct character of overly ripened cherries. As the brew warms up some indications of vanilla and wood almost leathery at times evolves with a scent of brown sugar.
The taste is sour and sharp with a funky aspect somewhat like stinky cheese, vinegar and a peculiar plastic-like sourness. More sips reveal a minorly puckering quality. This brew displays a pitty, earthy quality from the funky elements yet displays a bright, fresh cherry flavor that contrasts some rotten or overly ripe cherry flavoring. Collectively, the light alcohol incorporation, cherry flavor and herbal aspect form a medicinal taste that lingers in the mouth.
This is a medium bodied brew that is fairly smooth in the feel. It boasts a modest level of carbonation and a big salivation factor. Quite easy drinking with a nice depth of flavor. This was a brew I was very anxious to try. When I finally got the chance I was a little let down, it doesn't provide much beyond the base brew. When I learned what made this a "double" version I was also a bit let down. Simply dumping cherry juice into the base and aging it longer didn't provide that much benefit in my opinion.

I had this on tap during the O'Brien's anniversary celebration. This was blended solely for this occasion.
The beer is a deep red with a small head and minimal retention. The aroma is of...sour cherries! Are you surprised? There is much more tart cherry to this than the original red poppy, though I haven't had it for quite some time. Other aromas are of oak and vanilla.
The flavor is of cherries as well. Very very cherry. Nice and tart and a very nice level of fruity sourness. There's some lacto, vanilla, and some oak. The finish is long and sweet, sour, and tart.
The carbonation is good and the drinkability is good as well. I love this stuff and I'm anticipating the 09 release of Red Poppy.

On tap at City Beer Store, enjoyed a few of these during their Lost Abbey event for SF Beer Week.
Murky and opaque reddish-brown in the glass, looks like a glass of bile, quite frankly. It's got an almost grey color to it. On a more positive note, the head retention is great.
The aroma is absolutely incredible, like cutting into a fresh tart cherry; you get all the complexity and depth of a whole piece of fruit. To my surprise, there's more to be found: the dark malt base is subtle but present, lending a light toasty, bready character; there's also a touch of brown sugar, vanilla and restrained lacto sourness.
It tastes equally amazing, like biting into a fresh tart cherry. Sweeter than the regular Red Poppy, but nowhere near cloying; there's plenty of balancing sourness and a touch of oaky astringency. I get toasty dark malt, brown sugar and vanilla beneath the massive fruit flavor. The mouthfeel is medium to full, the additional fruit adds a richness that the regular Red Poppy doesn't have, yet this is still incredibly drinkable. The finish is sweet and tart, lightly oaky and with a hint of vanilla lingering beneath the cherries.
Having tried the standard Red Poppy on tap the day before, this version is very different but equally delicious. This is nowhere near the subtle, balanced beer that bottled Red Poppy is; the fruit character is dominant and remarkable. What a great beer.

Enjoyed this at the Armsby Abbey on the Lost Abbey takeover night. Enjoyed as an 8 ounce pour.
A - Pours a light ruddy brown, nice garnet hue with a nice over one finger head that left really good lacing and a thin white cloud.
S - Smell is excellent of great tart cherries and sourness. Good vinegar notes too along with some nice brown sugar qualities.
T - Taste is very good too, though I don't get much difference in taste as I do the regular Red Poppy. Lots of those sour cherries, sugar, and vinegar notes. Not quite as vinegary as the regular, but the cherries do shine a bit more.
M - Mouthfeel I thought was a little worse than the regular version. Not quite as carbonated and crisp as before. Still good though.
O - Overall this was a very enjoyable beer. I do love Flanders Reds and this shows off why. Great sourness, fruits, and funk.

Special version brewed just for O'Briens 15th Anniversary, even better than the normal version if you can believe that, reviewed from notes, color was a medium brown mixed with red tones, thin 3/4 inch slightly creamy tan head that dissipates quickly, some lacing, aroma is full of loads of cherries first and foremost, balsamic vinegar, oak, tart, earthiness, some mild spice, and fruit juice, flavor is like Red Poppy but with a lighter acidic feel and a lot more luring sweetness, taste is real nice and more mellow, finish still lasts almost a full minute, tastes like cherry juice was infused with the original batch, tart, sweet, lightly acidic, and fruity mouthfeel, medium bodied, moderate level of carbonation, could drink a whole lot of this, sweetness might takes it toll after a while but pretty easy to drink considering how much fruit went into this, one big thing I noticed from this one is the presence of more fruit, much sweeter and juicier but that is not a bad thing at all, wish the recipe stayed this way, wow the massive amounts of cherries that went into this did wonders, hope to see more of it in the future, recommended

Pours an orange brown with quite a bit of sediment. Some ruby highlights, maybe.
Smells like bursting cherry and oak notes. Very solid flavor, like drinking ripe, soured cherries dropped with oak chips and a bit of ... spice? Hmm...maybe that's some component of the aging process.
Sour, but not overwhelmingly so. A fair amount of carbonation. Really enjoyed.

Hell yeah, thanks to cloudskipper for sharing this tick at Lost Abbey night at City Beer after it ran out. Over on the other site this is listed as an alias of Red Poppy, but that's BS in my opinion, as this is a considerably different brewski (and a superior one if you ask me).
Cloudy deep burgundy in color with a small off-white head. Looks more or less how it should, if not particularly attractive.
The aroma is massive cherries, really intense. Some oakiness and funk as well as slight vinegar as well.
Huge, huge cherry flavor. Just jumps out of the glass at you. Damn tasty, oaky, mildly funky and tart.
Slight acidity on the palate with a nice tingling from the fruit and tartness that is typical of Lost Abbey sours.
I like this one a lot. Good job, Tomme.

On tap at City Beer Store for their Lost Abbey night. From notes jotted down after I got home.
A: It's funny that largadeer referred to this as looking like bile, because that was my first (unspoken) thought upon seeing the glass. It's a murky puce body that doesn't look all that appealing. Swirling produced a nice head that lasted for a minute or so.
S: Beautiful cherry aroma. Brown sugar, toast, oak, vanilla.
T: Tart red cherries up front, with a delicious brown sugar and toast flavor that defines a wonderful backbone. Great flavor contrast that prevents the beer from being too sweet or too tart. Small sourness in the mid-taste, with a tannic finish that brings out light vanilla.
M: Light-bodied... Well-carbed. I forgot to pay attention to how dry it was (if it was), but I had no trouble finishing the pour and don't seem to recall any lingering sweetness.
D: Well deserving of an A. Great beer. My only complaint is that I HATE the Lost Abbey pricing structure ($15 / 375mL, FML) and I just don't see myself getting more than one bottle, if that.

On tap at Armsby Abbey. About an 8oz. pour served out of a wine glass. Reviewed from notes.
Served with a 1.5 finger fine, pink cream colored head with good retention. Beer is a cloudy mud water color. Lacing is spare and spotty. I know it contains fruit puree but the color is very off-turning.
Nose is sweet cherry and spice. Super clean and simple with a robust fruit presence. Moderately aromatic.
Opens cinnamon spice. Cherry and raspberry puree. Incredibly rich, thick, sweet red fruit with some mild tartness sprinkled in. Really unbelievable how much of a fruit component is in this one. Finish is more red fruit with a sweet, tart aftertaste. Possibly the best Flanders Red I've ever had.
Medium bodied with low carbonation. Smooth in the mouth and smooth going down. Messy finish with a pleasant, lingering aftertaste. Really thick here but excusable because of, again, the immense fruit component.
Never mind this being a Flanders Red or Wild ale, this is possible one of the best fruit-based beers I've ever had. Absolutely incredible.

5oz or so pour at the toronado SD.
A: Murky brown. No head but decent lacing.
S: Good tart and sourness. Lots of sour cherries.
T/M: Loads of sour cherries with a healthy puckering tartness. A bit funky. Fuller mouthfeel.
D: easy drinking but damn expensive.

Pours an amber apple cider color with an antique white head. Mouthfeel is thin, watery, finishing dry. Very tart flavor of dusty fermented sour apple. This is not my style, but seems average to just above average for this style. It seems to compete with some of the more renowned sours from NoCal.

A: a murky, light brown
S: cherries are definitely there!
T: yes, the cherries, but also brown sugar and some kind of spice. When I mentioned cinnamon, Tomme neither confirmed nor denied. The mellow tartness let all those other flavors shine.
M: great level of carbonation
D: highly quaffable, this is a great Lost Abbey treat

Double cherry was on tap at the brewery during the V009 release. Reviewed from notes. Served in a taster glass.
Pour is light reddish brown with reasonably high amount of head. Bubbles are very large and porous similar to regular red poppy.
Smell is vinegar, red wine, and some brown sugar. The cherries come through in a nice brightness.
Tastes very sour. Tons of cherry and vinegar. The flavor profile is similar to regular red poppy, but the vinegar is toned down and the fruit is turned up. Tastes much better, but also much more sour than the regular version.
Body is a little thin, and carbonation is medium high.
Overall, a good, and very sour beer. The lower acetobacter was a huge improvement over regular poppy. This one is also good reasonably cold, which I can't say for the standard.

Had this on tap at EBF 2011 Night of the Barrels.
Looks like I expected, deep red in color with a very light head which Ive come accustomed to with my LA experiences.
Smell reaks of cherries with slight oak and funky undertones.
Cherries come out really nice in this, then the oak and a little tart with a subtle funkiness on the finish. Very, very good.
Mouthfeel is near perfect. Carbonation is not too high and not too low, just where it needs to be.
This was very drinkable and I wish this was bottled. Picked up some of 2011 Red Poppy the next day and am looking forward to trying it, hopefully I wont be let down.

Sampled at EBF. Ratebeer won't recognize this entry, so I am rating it here. Pours a hazy, copper amber with some creamy white head. Nose of vinegar, strawberry, malt, raspberry. Flavor is the same, lots of berry, some vinegar, some malt, light lactic. Full, tart finish.
